MYSTERY SOLVED—WAS NOTHING WRONG

Couple Who Were Dodging Man at Depot Explain—Were Married Later in Kankakee, 111.

The mystery surrounding the couple who got off the early morning train in Rensselaer last Thursday and whose conduct aroused some suspicion has (been solved. The couple was All B. Smith and Mrs. Minnie Ham, of Crarwfordsville, and they were eluding a friend who was trying to ascertain whether they were planning to get married or were in Jasper county to buy a farm. A 1 is really more of a Jasper county resident than of Crawfordsville, for he has spent a considerable part of the past five years in Rensselaer and vicinity. Mrs. Hamm was his affianced bride and they came to Rensselaer Thursday with the intention of getting married, but they found a mutual but inquisitive friend on board the train and they decided to fool him and they succeeded, although it caused a change of their plans and caused them to go to Kankakee, 111., for their wedding. It was performed at the home of Mrs. W. C. Burroughs in that city Thursday evening and Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to Chicago that night and spent a day or two there and then came to Rensselaer Sunday. Today in Mr. Smith's automobile they left for Crawfordsville, when® they will make their home.
